6. Connect a short length of wire to the other terminal of the fuse holder or circuit breaker.
Mark it “POSITIVE” or “+”.
7. Connect the free end of the fuse or breaker wire to the positive (+) terminal of the DC
power source (battery).
8. Insert an 150 to 200 Amp fuse in the fuse holder.
9. Test the inverter by turning it on and plugging in a 100 watt lamp or equipment.
10. If the inverter is not properly operating, then refer to the troubleshooting sections of this
manual.
CAUTION: Loose connectors may cause overheated wires and melted
insulation. Check to make sure you have not reversed the polarity.
Damage due to reversed polarity is not covered by our warranty.
4.3 CONNECTION TO LOAD
The Vector Power Inverter is equipped with two standard North American AC power
receptacles. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish to operate into the AC
receptacle(s). Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment does not
exceed 750 watts.
The Vector Power Inverter is engineered to be connected directly to standard
electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the
Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring.
WARNING: Do not connect to AC distribution wiring!
CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES
Certain rechargeable devices do not operate well from a modified sinewave inverter. They
only operate properly from a standard household outlet which provides a pure sine wave.
Therefore, Vector recommends that these types of devices be operated from a standard
household outlet only, not from the inverter
This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these
devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The
Vector Power Inverter is easily capable of running most chargers and transformers.
4.4 PLACEMENT OF THE INVERTER
For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat and/or solid surface. A
power cord measuring 2.5 feet (0.76 meters) has been provided for easy positioning of the
inverter. The inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria:
DRY - Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the Vector Power
Inverter.
VENTILATED - Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air circulation
around the unit. Do not place items on or over the inverter during operation. A fan is helpful
if the inverter is operating at maximum power outputs for extended periods of time. The unit
will shut down if the internal temperature exceeds operating temperatures. The unit will
restart after it cools.
CAUTION - DO NOT USE THE INVERTER NEAR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS OR IN
ANY LOCATIONS THAT MAY ACCUMULATE FLAMMABLE FUMES OR GASES.
5. OPERATING TIPS
5.1 RATED VERSUS ACTUAL CURRENT DRAW OF EQUIPMENT
Most electrical tools, appliances and audio/video equipment have labels that indicate the
power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item you
